Amazing grace! how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch; like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
That saved a wretch; like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!

The Lord hath promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.

When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begun.
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begun.

i lik this song because it is about the GRACE that God has given us, this GRACE is God Himself, dying on the cross to become our life.., the eternal life! Amen for this CHRIST!
He is so AMAZING!
Why do I like this song? Because it reminds me of how wonderful life is with the Lord Jesus... I last sang this song were giving praise to a sister who got sick and recovered so fast... but now she's now in the bossom of the Father.. it was so painful for all of us because she is a pure lover of Christ.. i remember when she said to me that she want the young people to stand firm in the Lord... her death is really an encouranging to all of us.. now we know that she's praying together with all the overcomers....

When I first listened to this song by chance, I was touched very much by its lyrics and the words as well. Of such a wretch like me, He makes a son. Amazing grace to me!!! Each time I sing this hymn, it brings me not only gratefulness but also faith. It¡¦s He who becomes my HOPE and MEANING of life. I would never thank Him enough for placing me in such amazing grace day by day.

I play a Mt Dulcimer and it is one of my favorite Hymns that I've played and sung over the past years...... If you say the words to yourself and think it's what faith is now and will be. I'm 72 and Live in the Lord.

This song has played a vital role in my relationship with God. When I was baptised, baptised with the Holy Spirit, when I got married and on several other times. This is how I see the relationship between God, Jesus and mankind through His grace on Calvary.
I would like to sing this song one day in church.

What can be said about this age old favourite...nothing but my Jesus I love you and thank you for forgiving me of my sins. I think everyday of the amazing grace which I do not deserve and when I read the words I am drawn to the only place I belong, on my knees with a broken and contrite heart filthy wretch that I am.

To me, it's a song of HOPE. I've loved it since I was a child, and now it has double meaning for me, as I lost my beloved husband (a decorated, twice- wounded Marine)last April (2003), and at his full military service, I had Amazing Grace played by a lone Bagpiper,symbolizing (in my husband's ancestral Scotland) playing the spirit home to rest. It was truly beautiful and awe-inspiring. A friend sent me this wonderful site. Thank you for all this inspiration.
